Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Wednesday said “negative propaganda” on social media was aimed at creating uncertainty and hopelessness in the country, state-run Radio Pakistan reported.
During an address at the Pakistan National Youth Conference in Islamabad, he stressed the need for double-checking news on social media. He said that without proper research and positive thinking, there would be a chaos in the society.
According to Radio Pakistan, the army chief asserted that the armed forces of Pakistan were fully prepared against any threat and conspiracy. Pakistan would never compromise on its sovereignty, he added.
COAS Munir expressed full confidence in the “bright future of Pakistan”, highlighting that Allah Almighty had bestowed Pakistan with numerous mineral resources, agriculture and young human capital.
“He said the sole objective behind the creation of Pakistan was that our religion, civilization and culture were totally different from that of Hindus but it does not mean that we should adopt Western culture. He said the youth should trust their country, nation, culture and civilization,” Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying.
The army chief further stated that the youth of Pakistan should believe that they belong to a great country and nation, adding that youngsters were the “torchbearers of bright traditions of the country” as well as the “true outcome of the dreams of Allama Iqbal and Quaid-i-Azam”.
Gen Munir added that the armed forces could fight terrorists but needed “cooperation and support from the entire nation”.
